Thanks for visiting the Godrej India Culture Lab blog. Here, we’ll be putting up some of our own thoughts, as well as the opinions from some of our lab participants – the thinkers, performers, designers, businesspeople, not-for-profit folks that we continuously cross-pollinate through our activities. We hope that reading these blog posts will point you to some interesting ideas about the contemporary India that we live in, as well as inspire you to start new conversations with those in your own lives.

I remember the first time I heard about Remembering Partition in its most nascent stages, barely more than an idea at the time. It immediately sparked my interest, which is unsurprising as I am a passionate student of history.
